Popular cosplay cutie Enako is complaining that she was groped and subjected to the most compromising of photography when mobbed by creepy otaku photographers at the recent Nipponbashi Street Festa in Osaka, calling it the most ill-mannered event she has ever had the misfortune to attend.

2ch’s otaku population is proving itself a class act as always, wasting no time in blaming Enako, Osaka’s supposed lack of morals, and even foreigners, but apparently not being willing to place any blame on the hordes of camera-toting otaku swarming any cosplayer who was not obviously a man:

“Whenever she turned away the front rank of photographers were trying for peeping angle shots. I really thought it was a total violation of cosplay event etiquette. Still, it was a suggestive outfit and I don’t think anyone is going to be asking for permission to take shots of her crotch.”

“When I took a few shots of her she was still smiling…”

“She was that annoyed in the latter part of the event?”

“She was smiling at first, but when I saw her later she wasn’t smiling at all. I just thought I was lucky to have seen her earlier.”

“Arrest them!”

“It’s just because it’s Osaka.”

“Osaka is the worst.”

“What would you expect from Osaka? It’s a crime city.”

“Enako again! She’s so cute!”

“I like her thick legs!”

“Hey butterface, if you don’t want to be photographed, don’t cosplay!”

“Well, she’s the one selling her high exposure cosplay so she brought this on herself.”

“Looking like that, I can see why she attracted covert photography, though touching her up is going too far.”

“I can kind of understand why they might want to grope her.”

“What is she whining about when she goes about exhibitionistically whoring herself like this.”

“The person who did it was probably Chinese or Korean. They’d just think cosplayers were some kind of prostitute.”

Really? She should have just up and left if it was really bothering her. Walked the fuck away, gone back up to her room, got into some real clothes, and attended the convention for the rest of the time like that if she so desired. There are other conventions that she could have worn that outfit at, I suspect. Posted the reason on the blog and fuck all the haters.

So she only likes people to take pictures of “strange places” while she’s in the studio then? Because she clearly shows off her crotch and thighs on purpose… or maybe she’s just defensive of her armpits or something?

I’m still amused by the idea of a shy exhibitionist. If you dress like that in public, you will be seen like that – even in high resolution. It’s not like you do a pro-level cosplay and then expect no one to try taking pictures. It’s not even a cliche anymore – it’s par for the course.

Taking pictures, and taking upskirt pics and zooming in on naughty bits is very different. People might be ok with with showing some cleavage doesn’t mean people want people to have pictures of their private areas.

Oh, you know she did. It would have been funny if someone got a shot of her juices dripping down her legs. I bet she’d love it if a bunch of homeless guys raped her in an alley on her way back from the event, being the filthy cosplay slut that she is, inspiring lust in everyone for personal profit.

I thought that by now, she’s already prepared for anything.. as in anything good or bad associated with cosplaying.

Obviously by dressing up like that, not only that you’d attract loads of otaku but probably other people as well just to satisfy their curiosities and inadvertently, the perverts. I know that people must have the concept of respect but, there would still be assholes among us.

I’m surprised that she’s surprised, not that she was asking for it or anything (she wasn’t) but with that many people there there are bound to be some perverts and such. Though with her popularity you’d expect she’d kinda be use to it by now..

Damn otaku eager to live up to negative stereotypes. Telling her not to cosplay is stupid because that leaves more menfolk crossplayers. Fucking ingrates. Also, exhibitionist dressing is still no excuse for groping or rape.

A lot of people (including 90% of this site’s userbase) strongly disagree with your last statement. But then again, a lot of people (including 90% of this site’s userbase) are utter scum and human trash. As sad (and inexcusable) as it is, it was bound to happen and considering her amount of cosplay experience she should have been expecting this, especially at a 200k+ event.

Damned assholes ruining things for the rest of us… if they harrass female cosplayers weearing cute and/or sexy costumes, those cosplayers will quit, and we’ll no longer be able to see such wonderful things.

More like invitation to be raped.
I’m more than willing to bet that’s exactly what these women want. That’s the whole reason they do ‘ero’ cosplay. A real man needs to step up and take them, but Japan is full of pussies.

Where’re the naked women? I don’t see any. I only see a woman with nothing naked but parts of her legs, arms, and face. That’s helluva lot less than you’d see if you visited a beach or a swimming pool.

It’s the most retarded logic found only in the most uncivilized countries that if a woman shows a little bit of skin and isn’t surrounded by bodyguards, you are free to do with her whatever you want. That’s why my comparisons apply perfectly, even if they are exaggerations.

I agree with the erotic angles thing, but as it says “at point blank range” in the translation, it was probably different.
Getting pissed at people taking pictures of your crotch instead of appreciating the actual cosplay doesn’t sound hypocritical to me, it’s understandable.
